SUMMARY:The WDVX Big Plate – 10/3 – Cole Chaney
DESCRIPTION:When it comes to his latest album\, In the Shadow of the Mountain\, 25-year-old singer-songwriter Cole Chaney is pretty candid and blunt about who he is and what kind of music he wants to make — the result of which\, this stunning offering from an artist wise beyond his age. \n“There’s a yin to every yang\,” Chaney says. “I want nothing more than for people to be creatively fulfilled\, and to do what they want. But\, for me to preach that? I have to practice it.” \nThat attitude resides at the core of the record\, where the trajectory of the songs seemingly — more so purposely — shoot off in the opposite direction of many of his contemporaries in the Americana\, country and folk music scenes. In truth? Chaney is summoning his rock roots. \n“I’m not concerned with being labeled as ‘country’.“There’s not a lot of music being released right now that is doing anything for me. I made something that I would want to listen to.” \nPointing to his lifelong admiration for 1990s rock — specifically Soundgarden\, Alice in Chains and Stone Temple Pilots — as a vital influence on the sonic landscape of the album\, Chaney aimed to find a melodic balance between that raw and real rock sound and the bluegrass and folk music of his native Kentucky. \n“I wanted to make something that sounded like Ralph Stanley went in and got backed up by Soundgarden\,” Chaney jokes. “I write what I listen to. And whatever I listen to is going to come out in my music.” \nIn the Shadow of the Mountain was captured by famed producer Duane Lundy at his legendary studio in Lexington\, Kentucky. While talking at-length about the possible collaboration\, Lundy spoke of his love for Soundgarden\, Alice in Chains and Stone Temple Pilots. \n“I know plenty of bluegrass guys that could have recorded this for me\,” Chaney says. “But\, I wanted to take that string band and folk sound and bring it to a rock producer\, to bring that big sound out of these acoustic instruments — [Duane] was about to do that.” \nThe album was also co-produced by guitarist Zachary Hamilton\, a close friend of Chaney\, who is also the brother and bandmate of rising Lexington singer-songwriter Abby Hamilton. \n“[Zach] has that ability to fill a room with his guitar\, his voicings\, and all the choices he goes for down the neck of the guitar\,” Chaney says. “When Abby was opening for us\, I got to sit there and watch him play every night. I knew when I was going to do another album\, he needed to be involved in some capacity.” \nHeading into the recording sessions\, Chaney brought along his band\, which included Ella Webster (fiddle)\, Kyle Kleinman (mandolin)\, Joel Murtaugh (upright bass) and James Gooding (drums). Acclaimed Kentucky musician (and former bandmate) Aaron Bibelhauser also makes an appearance. \nWith this pivot in his tone and intent compared to his 2021 debut album\, Mercy\, Chaney sees this current path as more in-tune with what he’s not only wanted to do all along\, but has slowly shifted towards in recent years amid endless touring and performing. \n“I was green [while recording Mercy]. I didn’t really know what I was doing\,” Chaney admits. “And\, by the grace of so many people around me\, we were able to get some really great string band music on [that album].” \nSince Mercy\, Chaney has added a full drum kit to his band and live show\, something that was done to enhance his sound and stage presence — this thunderous beat to accompany the sorrowful songs. \n“If I have drums\, then we’re going to do it all the way\,” Chaney says. “And that unlocked some capabilities for me as a writer to pursue a sound that I don’t think I’ve heard yet.” \nAs of late\, Chaney has returned to his hometown of Catlettsburg\, Kentucky (population: 1\,780). The tiny Appalachian community lies along the shores of the Ohio and Big Sandy rivers\, at the crossroads of the borders of West Virginia\, Ohio and The Bluegrass State. \n“I think where I’m from shows through in everything that I do\,” Chaney says. “And if you want to write songs where that is going to come through\, then I feel I need to be around my roots.” \nFor Chaney\, even though he’s only in his mid-twenties\, his journey has been long and bountiful already. From growing up in rural Appalachia to going to welding school\, only to leave it behind and take a leap of faith when an opportunity to pursue music emerged. \nThat life-changing decision led to Chaney hitting the road and finding work at The Burl\, a storied Lexington music venue. Chaney has come full circle with The Burl\, by selling out the space on multiple occasions to fervent crowds\, including the large outdoor stage. \nWith In the Shadow of the Mountain being the latest milestone for Chaney\, what remains is this driven musician in search of not only himself and his sound\, but also an audience just as hungry — for something new\, something different\, and yet something so familiar. \n“In a lot of ways\, things have gone extremely far. And yet\, so many things have remained the same\,” Chaney reflects. “And that’s been the beauty of the journey.”

SUMMARY:Scruffy Roots Fest - 10/4 - Vaden Landers\, Wyatt Ellis & a Tom Petty Tribute from The Deep Fakes
DESCRIPTION:Kerns Food Hall presents the first-ever Scruffy Roots Fest Saturday evening October 4th at five p.m. on the big stage outdoors with live music from Vaden Landers\, Wyatt Ellis and a Tom Petty Tribute from The Deep Fakes. Doors at 4 p.m. Thanks to Sugarlands Distillery for their support. WDVX is a media sponsor. \n8pm to 9:30pm – Wyatt Ellis\n6:15pm to 7:45pm – The Deep Fakes (tom petty tribute set)\n5pm to 6pm – Vaden landers \nFrom the enchanting landscapes of Eastern Tennessee comes the burgeoning talent of Vaden Landers\, a 30-year-old artist weaving a tapestry of melodies that harken back to the golden era of country music. Vaden’s journey began as a train-hopping troubadour and street-busker\, crafting songs that resonate with the very soul of Americana. \nAffectionately dubbed “The Yodeling Country Bluesman\,” Vaden has etched his name into the vibrant streets of Asheville\, North Carolina. His authenticity shines as a torchbearer of the classic country tradition\, infused with a contemporary spark. \nWith an eclectic fusion of honky-tonk\, rockabilly\, folk\, blues\, ragtime\, jazz\, western swing\, and old-time Appalachian influences\, Vaden Landers emerges as a pioneer breathing new life into the traditional country music scene. His performances at various music festivals\, including the illustrious WoodyFest and the renowned Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion\, have left audiences enraptured. \nAs Vaden Landers takes the stage\, he invites you to embark on an enthralling journey – one that transcends time and genre. \n \nWyatt Ellis has accomplished more by age 16 than many musicians do in a lifetime. Hailing from the foothills of the Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee\, he’s quickly emerging as one of bluegrass music’s brightest young stars. With virtuosic mandolin playing\, heartfelt vocals\, and original songwriting\, Wyatt blends the deep traditions of bluegrass with a fresh\, youthful energy. Backed by a powerhouse band of Appalachia’s finest young musicians\, Wyatt delivers high-octane performances that range from the Grand Ole Opry to major festivals like MerleFest and Gray Fox. His band’s signature single-mic setup showcases their tight harmonies\, high-lonesome vocals\, and blistering solos\, creating a sound steeped in tradition yet driven by the future. Wyatt’s breakout year included a debut at the Newport Folk Festival\, chart-topping original instrumentals from his debut album\, and becoming one of the youngest regular performers in Grand Ole Opry history. His authentic Appalachian songwriting and seasoned stage presence have quickly set him apart as a once-in-a-generation talent with a deep respect for bluegrass music’s heritage. 2024’s IBMA Momentum Instrumentalist of the Year and twice nominated for IBMA’s New Artist of the Year\, Wyatt has collaborated with legends like Peter Rowan\, Marty Stuart\, and the late Bobby Osborne. His January 2025 release\, Winds of Rowan County\, a duet with Rowan\, celebrated bluegrass roots while symbolically passing the torch. Wyatt’s lead and harmony mandolin solo on Bobby Osborne’s final recording of “Rocky Top\,” along with their co-written instrumental “Fern Branch\,” were both featured on Osborne’s posthumous album\, a tribute to Wyatt’s connection to his hero and mentor. With a debut vocal album of all-new original songs on the way\, Wyatt Ellis stands poised at the forefront of bluegrass\, honoring the legacy of the genre while boldly pushing it forward into a new era. \n \nFrom rock ‘n roll to new wave\, The Deep Fakes play spot on versions of our favorite music of the cassette and vinyl era. Whether it’s a chart topping hit or a deep cut\, every effort is made to accurately capture and reproduce the original studio release. \n  \n \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special - 10/6 - Pete Denahy
DESCRIPTION:Pete Denahy knew when he was 11 years old he wanted to be a country singer. He taught himself guitar\, started writing songs and at 13 years old saw Slim Dusty in concert for the first time. Twelve years later he was in Slim’s band playing fiddle and doing a comedy spot on the show.\nWhile he has written some ridiculous comedy songs\, he is no stranger to writing a heart wrencher\, but he is fully aware that his songs about insects and toilet paper hold special places in the hearts of his fans.\nHis latest record “She Loves Me To The Moon” is not a comedy release but a traditional country album featuring his own fiddle playing\, twangy guitars and wailing pedal steel. Produced by Simon Johnson at Hillbilly Hut Studio\, it includes fine playing by some of Australia’s best and a collection of new tracks penned with help from the Wolfe Brothers\, Mike Carr\, Bill Whyte and Evan Murphy.\nPete is a five time Golden Guitar winner and is very happy to have won three of those for his fiddle playing – an instrument that has kept him in work for many years. As well as working as a side man and guest artist for Slim\, he has done the same for Sara Storer\, Troy Cassar-Daley and Lee Kernaghan.\nPete takes two trips a year to Japan with Australian music fans to explore the bluegrass and country scene there.

SUMMARY:WDVX Summer Nights - 10/8 - Mic Harrison and the High Score / Trisha Gene Brady
DESCRIPTION:I’d rather see Mic Harrison and the High Score perform than just about any band on the planet. \nThat’s not just because Mic and the guys have a couple of road cases full of great songs or they’re journeyman musicians who’ve been a part of some of the best bands to come out of the South. It’s because every time I go to a Mic Harrison and the High Score show\, I know I’m going to walk in and see guys who look like they’re having so much fun on stage that it can’t help but spill out into the audience. I know I’m going to walk out at the end the night feeling better about the world with great rock ‘n’ roll and honky tonk songs playing over and over in my head. \nLead singer and rhythm guitarist Mic Harrison\, lead guitarist Robbie Trosper\, bassist Vance Hillard\, guitarist Kevin Abernathy and drummer Don Coffey\, Jr.\, have a chemistry that can only come from long term friendships and shared experiences. Harrison\, who started his young adulthood working in a saw mill in Bradford\, Tenn.\, a town so small it barely shows up on the map between Memphis and Jackson. He moved to Knoxville in the 1990s to become co-lead singer-songwriter (with Scott Miller) in The V-Roys\, a band that defined “Americana” before it was genre. After that group split\, he teamed with Trosper in the short-lived favorites The Faults and\, later\, teamed with Coffey in the now legendary power pop act Superdrag. When Superdrag ended\, Harrison enlisted established Knoxville rock act The High Score to back up a tour and the chemistry was so good that the partnership never ended. \nIn the past 12 years or so\, Mic and the guys have traveled the country\, performing at festivals from Bonnaroo to Easyriders Rodeos\, headlining bills from concert halls to the stickiest bars\, opening shows for everyone from Billy Joe Shaver to Huey Lewis and the News to ZZ Top\, and recording a terrific single with classic country singer Con Hunley. \nI’ve been lucky enough to experience Mic Harrison and the High Score perform about 50 times. I expect to see them at least 50 more. In the world today\, you need something that’s guaranteed to make you feel good that won’t hurt you – aside from a little soreness from swaying and dancing. \nI consider Mic Harrison and the High Score mental health food. \n– Wayne Bledsoe \n \nWith her former band TGB followed a rigorous road schedule and had many adventures!! Trisha Gene Brady is a roots musician from Knoxville\, TN known best for her seven year run as the female vocalist (guitar\, mandolin\, percussion) of the nationally touring act\, The Black Lillies. Her split from the well known Americana outfit seems to be an open door to the next step in her career.\nShe has been featured in publications including Rolling Stone\, Vanity Fair\, Billboard\, Wall Street Journal\, Consequence of Sound\, Garden & Gun\, Huffington Post\, Relix Magazine\, USA Today\, PASTE Magazine\, No Depression & Country Weekly\, NPR’s Mountain Stage (twice) and five separate PBS concert specials\, a GAC featurette\, Texas Music Scene and a CMT television episode airing nationally.\nTrisha Gene is one of the only independent artists invited to play the Grand Ole Opry more than thirty times (debuted June\, 2011).\nShe has performed at festivals including Bonnaroo Music + Arts\, SXSW\, Americana Music Association’s Americana Fest\, 30-A Songwriter’s Festival\, Country Music Association’s CMA Festival & Fan Fair\, Rochester International Jazz Festival\, Pickathon\, Strawberry Music Festival\, Four Corners Folk Festival\, MerleFest\, Old Settler’s Festival\, The Luck Reunion\, and more.

SUMMARY:Kidstuff Live - 10/11 - Miss Lynn
DESCRIPTION:Join your host Sarah Pirkle every 2nd Saturday at 10:00 AM for a toe-tapping\, family-friendly live music performance made just for kids—and their grownups who love them! From catchy tunes to musical surprises. This day Miss Lynn will be joining us! \nSome Very Good Words to Describe Miss Lynn: \nIDEALISTIC: On the day 9-year old Lynn Hickernell was selected as captain of a gym class kickball team\, she knew just what she would do: the first members chosen for her team would be the classmates who\, like her\, were usually picked last. As the teams assembled\, she ignored the quizzical facial expressions and continued to select smaller\, less-coordinated 4th graders\, instead of the stronger\, faster students who quickly made up the opposing team. She knew that her team might not be obvious victors\, but if they worked together\, they could show the other team what they could do–which turned out to be lose. Badly. By a score of approximately 25 to 0. And while it wasn’t much fun to lose that spring morning\, many years later it made a good story. \nUNPRETENTIOUS: Miss Lynn knows we are all still learning (she even wrote a song about it)\, so she’s not worried about telling stories to try and make herself look cool. The fact that she thinks being cool is overrated is one of the driving forces behind the music she makes and The Good Words Podcast. \nZEALOUS: She loves so many things! Music! Doughnuts! The color yellow! And WORDS! She loves words so much that she created a whole podcast about them. You can find The Good Words Podcast on iTunes\, on the Good Words Podcast Website\, or many other podcast providers. \nTRANSIENT: Even though she’s pretty down to earth\, Miss Lynn also spends a lot of time traveling\, making concerts with kids and adults all over and working on The Good Words Podcast. You can find some of the places she’ll be by looking at the calendar. \nAMBIVALENT: Miss Lynn has very mixed feelings about social media in general and her involvement in particular\, but if you are so inclined\, you can find her on Facebook\, Instagram\, and Twitter. \nUBIQUITOUS: But even though she can only be in one physical location at a time\, you can find her all over the Internet! In addition to all the places mentioned above\, find her music on iTunes\, and CD Baby! \n \n

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special – 10/11 – Rebecca Porter / Robby Hecht
DESCRIPTION:Born in Guam and raised in the Shenandoah Valley\, Rebecca Porter blends soulful melodies and fearless lyrics with her honey-smooth voice to create her own brand of Appalachian honky tonk. Her 2023 EP\, Queen of the Local\, earned national acclaim and led to recognition in Rissi Palmer’s Color Me Country Class of 2024\, features on Ed Helms’ Good Country\, and a debut on NPR’s Mountain Stage. Known for electrifying live performances\, Porter captivates audiences with her emotional intensity and grit. Porter’s personal and raw storytelling continues to push boundaries\, projecting a cinematic soundscape that balances traditional country’s rugged spirit with an unapologetic journey of perseverance. \n \nRobby Hecht has been captivating audiences as a touring singer-songwriter for over two decades\, combining quietly impactful songwriting reminiscent of Tom Waits or Jim Croce with the graceful vocal resonance of James Taylor. With a remarkable blend of insightful lyricism\, memorable melodies\, and a voice that carries both strength and tenderness\, his music resonates with audiences from all walks of life. \nRobby’s dedication to the craft and collaborative spirit have solidified his reputation as a versatile and respected artist within the industry. He garnered recognition as a songwriter’s songwriter early in his career\, winning a number of revered performing songwriter contests and touring across the US and Europe. His music has been the soundtrack for countless journeys\, amassing over 25 million streams to date. And with more than 60 songs recorded by other artists\, as well as numerous contributions as a featured vocalist\, Robby has added his distinct touch to the work of fellow musicians\, reaching music lovers through the voices of others. \nBeyond his musical endeavors\, Robby is a passionate advocate for mental health awareness. Openly discussing his own journey with bipolar disorder\, he shines a light on these issues\, breaking the stigma and offering support and inspiration to those who may be facing similar struggles. \nRobby’s highly anticipated album\, Not a Number\, is a powerful reflection on the evocative and turbulent journey of the past few years. Featuring twelve introspective tracks\, each with the potential to become a personal favorite\, the album weaves together themes of divorce\, emotional recovery\, nostalgia\, the unity of humanity\, and the profound significance of individual experiences. It is a musical tapestry that resonates deeply with listeners\, meeting them wherever they may be on their own life’s path. \nNot a Number was produced by veteran singer-songwriter and sought after guitarist Anthony da Costa\, who also contributed much of the arranging and instrumentation on the album. The recording process spanned nearly two years\, initially involving remote performances exchanged during isolation until Anthony and Robby were able to complete the project together in person. The album features notable guest vocal performances by acclaimed artists from Nashville and beyond including Caroline Spence\, Jess Nolan\, Jill Andrews\, Katie Pruitt\, Lydia Luce\, The Sea The Sea\, Ruth Moody\, and Trousdale. \nRobby Hecht’s music is a testament to the power of storytelling and the ability of songs to touch our souls. His insights and captivating melodies create a truly unforgettable musical experience\, inviting you to embark on a contemplative journey through the landscapes of the heart and mind.

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special – 10/18 – Elise Witt / Tim Chandler
DESCRIPTION:Elise Witt was born in Switzerland\, raised in North Carolina\, and since 1977 has made her home in Atlanta. She speaks fluent Italian\, French\, German\, Spanish\, and English and sings in over a dozen languages. Her passion for music and languages has led her to take her Global\, Local & Homemade Songs™ across the United States and around the globe. \nAmong her ancestors\, Elise claims “Wedding March” composer Felix Mendelssohn and his grandfather\, Jewish philosopher Moses Mendelssohn; Protestant cow farmers from northern Germany; Russian chemists; Polish intellectuals; French Bordeaux wine growers; a British painter; and a great great aunt from Cuba. \n \nGood songwriting matters to all of us whether we know it or not. It tells the truth in a way that keeps us all moving towards something better. When songs become laundry lists and trend chasers\, they become nothing and so do we. \nTim Chandler is a songwriter dedicated to telling that kind of truth in song in an out of the box way. Combining his influences of bluegrass\, country\, and folk\, his music is drawn from life in work\, family\, and frustrations with songs that don’t say anything. \nGrowing up a preacher’s son in Western Kentucky\, Tim’s first exposure to music came through the traditional hymns that made up every service. Now\, his influences range all over the board\, drawn from the places and people he has worked with\, roamed with\, and written with. From West Coast cover bands to Rocky Mountain forestry crews\, swampy Florida factory floors to construction sites in Alabama. Now\, he wants to share those stories with you. \nTim currently shares his music on a regular basis and has played everywhere from Florida to California to New Jersey – with multiple features on local radio shows and music festivals – including the award winning “Blue Plate Special” on WDVX. He has a whole catalog of songs to his name and now his self-titled record is available to purchase or stream. You can keep up with him and his bandmates on Facebook\, Instagram or wherever you stream music.

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special – 10/20 – David Singley
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in rural central Illinois\, David Singley is a singer- songwriter- guitarist living in Saint Paul\, Minnesota\, whose music is born of the street\, the country\, and the academy. An experienced veteran with decades of backing world-class artists and performers\, he has recently joined the “Great Resignation” and set his sights on his own artistic pursuits. His music evokes the golden era of the singer-songwriter: the late ’60’s and early-to-mid ’70’s; with its chameleonic stylistic twists and turns\, as well as its memorable melodies and insightful\, poetic lyrics. His music expresses a point-of-view that is at once highly personal and triumphantly global. His voice evokes traces of many of his influences: James Taylor\, Gordon Lightfoot\, Jim Croce\, Jackson Browne\, Dan Fogelberg\, and many others. His guitar playing is at once highly focused and passionate\, impressive yet always absolutely appropriate to the song at hand. \nHis two singer-songwriter albums\, 2021’s The Long\, Slow Fuse of Night\, and 2024’s Fools & Mystics\, have each received substantial airplay on noncommercial radio. David has multiple music videos on YouTube with over 100K views\, with some as high as 400+K views. A third album is planned for the Spring of 2026. His solo performances include sharing the stage with artists such as Crys Matthews\, Heather Mae\, Claudia Nygaard\, The Twangtown Paramours\, Paul Kamm & Eleanore MacDonald\, and Caroline Cotter.

SUMMARY:The WDVX Blue Plate Special - 10/27 – Michael Dinallo / Jon Byrd
DESCRIPTION:Michael Dinallo is an award winning Producer\, Guitarist\, & Songwriter from Boston\, Massachusetts. \n \nBorn in Birmingham\, Alabama\, JON BYRD lived his formative years in small town America\, deep in the piney woods of south Alabama just one county over from the birthplace of legendary country artist Hank Williams. In the 90s Jon became pivotal in Atlanta’s storied Redneck Underground music scene. Always a featured sideman\, Jon’s first solo recording didn’t come along until after migrating to Music City nearly 20 years ago. Jon’s fourth solo album DIRTY OL’ RIVER harkens back to the first Byrd’s Auto Parts record: up-tempo country songs\, lots of pedal steel\, and some really strong country covers. Jon’s originals “I Get Lost” and “If Texas Is So Great” will be heard for years to come. \nWhen Jon Byrd was just eight years old\, his dad was diagnosed with TB and began singing the immortal Jimmie Rogers’ song “TB Blues” all around the house. That same year Jon saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan and his obsession with the musical tension between country and rock ‘n’ roll was born. Less than two years later he was conscripted into the drum corps of his tiny high school’s marching band and played Booker T. and the MG’s “Green Onions” while the majorettes held the cymbals and danced. There was no turning back. \nAfter touring nationally with jangle-pop purists Tim Lee and the Windbreakers\, and Birmingham’s Primitons in the 1980s\, the 1990s saw Byrd attempting a Ph.D. in American Studies at Emory University in Atlanta… all while becoming a central figure in Atlanta’s storied Redneck Underground music scene as lead guitarist for the seminal and legendary country band Slim Chance and the Convicts (Letters to Mama\, 1993\, and Twang Peaks\, 1996). He also formed the hard country band the Ratchet Set as a musical outlet for his love of old trucking songs and two chord honky-tonk gems.
